A/N: Hi, so this is my first Thorki… yeah. Thanks to my beta SympaticoDamose1864

A bright flash of light struck the earth as the gate from Asgard was opened and Kind Odin, his wife, Queen Frigga and their oldest son, Prince Thor passed through to Midgard. Moments later, another light smacked into the earth as Sif and the Warriors Three – Hogun, Fandral and Volstagg – follow them.

They all looked around them, wondering where to start.

Just a day ago they'd all been – moderately – content with life. Frigga still cried when she thought too much of Loki, her youngest son, Odin still felt regret when he thought about the day he cast him out of Asgard and Thor still yearned to hug his little brother again but they'd all, in their own way, found ways to deal with it. During Loki and Thor's battle, Odin awoke before Thor could destroy the rainbow bridge and therefore Loki did not have the opportunity to fall off the bridge and was imprisoned until his punishment was decided. That punishment was to be stripped of his magic and banished to Midgard.

Loki had been banished one and a half years ago and no one had heard from him and barely dared to speak of him.

Until the Frost Giants had invaded.

The army was so huge and appeared so suddenly that no one saw it coming and therefore was not prepared. The people of Asgard had been enslaved in a matter of minutes and the House of Odin was surrounded, most of the guards and the Asgardian army killed. They had demanded to speak to Loki.

"You can't, he's no longer in Asgard," Odin had told them as they circled around him, Thor, Frigga, Sif and the Warriors Three.

"Where is he?!" The new king of the Frost Giants had yelled. Apparently he was Laufey's brother and therefore Loki's biological Uncle.

"He has been banished to Midgard,"

The Frost Giants murmured to one another and their King turned to confer with them. When he turned back he walked closer to Odin.

"Bring him back! Or all of Asgard will be destroyed!"

'What will you do with him if we bring him back?" Thor asked, stepping forward. Frigga tried to grab his arm and pull him back but he shrugged her off.

"We will speak to him about forming a truce between Asgard and Jotunheim as he is of Jotun heritage but we will speak to only him!"

Odin blinked in shock and exchanged a look with Thor before turning back.

"And what will be your conditions?"

"No Asgardian may set foot in Jotunheim without a Jotun guide and personal permission from I, the king. This also means no Jotun may enter Asgard without an Asgardian guide and permission from Loki, not the king, Loki," He stressed the Prince's name to show that part was not negotiable.

"If we go to Midgard and retrieve Loki will you promise to let the people of Asgard go free?" Odin asked.

"Yes," The Frost Giant nodded.

"Very well," Odin nodded back.

Odin had debated whether to let his wife come but after much deliberation decided he'd rather her by his side so he can protect her than in the company of the Frost Giants. So they'd all opened the gate with Heimdall's help to Midgard in search of the youngest Prince.

"Which way?" Sif asked Thor as he'd been here before.

"Well, if we can get to civilization we can ask someone," Thor started walking east as the others followed.

They eventually reached a town and stopped the first human they'd seen. It was a chubby man with a baseball cap, flannel shirt and jeans with heavy work boots.

"Excuse me mortal, I am looking for someone and was wondering if you could assist me in tracking him down," Odin asked him. The man looked them all up and down, they were still in their Asgardian clothes, and smirked, winking at Sif.

"Sure, who you looking for?"

"Loki, son of Odin," He replied.

"Loki, huh?" The guy shook his head slowly. "Sorry man, I don't know any… Loki," He shook his head again and walked off.

Volstagg sighed. "Any other ideas?"

Thor thought for a second before walking over to a phone box. "One," He muttered as he looked through the phone book in there until he found 'Foster, Jane' He smiled and dialed the number, putting in some coins he'd found on the floor.

"Hello?" A tired voice asked.

"Jane?" Thor smiled.

"Thor? Oh my god!" He heard the smile in her voice.

"I'm back in Midgard and require your assistance," He grinned.

"Of course, where are you?" He looked around and read a sign close by. Jane was quite close so she said to wait where they were and she would be there in less than an hour.

When he told this to the others Sif wasn't happy about just waiting but she just grumbled to herself and slumped to the ground to draw patterns in the sand.

"Thor!" They heard someone shout.

They all turned and saw a brunette woman running up to them.

"Jane!" Thor yelled back and ran to meet her. They hugged and when they separated, the Asgardians were all stood waiting to be introduced. After they'd all gotten acquainted Thor explained the situation to Jane. She nodded throughout the story and bit her lip in thought.

Jane got her laptop out and managed to somehow search the censuses of the past two years. First she searched 'Odinson' but no results showed. Odin told her to try Laufeyson and Frigga and Thor cringed but both nodded. Still no results.

They tried just 'Loki' and got one. Loki Hiddleston in New York City. Luckily, Jane offered to take them to New York to see if this was the Loki they were looking for and she had a van so they could all get in… as long as they didn't break her equipment.

But first they went back to Jane's to get some casual clothes.

Thor and Frigga rode in front with Jane while everyone else tried not to knock into anything in the back. Jane had scribbled the address on her hand so when they got to New York they could find it. By the time they found Loki Hiddleston's house it was 01:00am but there was loud rock music coming from the house and the door was slightly ajar.

"Okay, no offence but this is as far as I'm going," Jane announced when they were stood outside the house. They could hear drunken shouts and saw about five people stumble out of the door, waving to the people inside before stalking down the streets chanting about Ace of the Spades or something.

They all thanked Jane and Thor promised to call her with updates before she got back into her van and drove in the direction they'd come.

They all approached the door and stepped inside, looking around. They were in the kitchen of the house and a short woman approached them. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a blood-splatter design and tight black jeans. She had mousy blonde hair that was wavy in a messy way.

"Hi, can I help you?" She asked in a hyperactive tone. She had a cup of red liquid in one hand and was holding on to the counter for balance with the other.

"I am Odin of Asgard, I am looking for Loki Od- Hiddleston," He corrected himself.

"Loki? Asgard…?" She looked confused for a second then realization washed over her features.

"Ooh, you're Odin, his Dad, right?" She pointed at him. Odin nodded and she turned to Thor.

"Which means you… judging by the hair, must be his brother, Thor," Thor nodded.

"And you're… Frigga. Right? His mum?"

"Yes," Frigga smiled.

"Wow, you're really pretty," The woman remark.

"Why, thank you, so are you… I'm sorry I didn't catch your name," Frigga apologized.

"That's okay, its Max, and thanks," She smiled.

"Well, it's nice to meet you Max," Frigga held her hand out and Max shook it and nodded.

"You too Frigga, Loki's told me stories about you guys," He smiled.

"You are a friend of Loki's?" Thor asked, wide-eyed.

"Yeah, I'm the one who found him. Lucky for him, if anyone else found him first he'd be locked up for being insane," She laughed.

"We must speak with him," Fandral announced.

"And you are?"

"I am Fandral, this is Volstagg and Hogun and we are the Warriors Three. This is Sif," He introduced everyone.

"Ah, he told me about you guys too," She smiled. "I'll get him for you,"

They nodded their thanks and expected her to walk off so they were surprised when she simply turned and screamed "LOKI!" as loud as she could. They all jumped back in shock.

She stood on her tiptoes to see over people in search for Loki until she saw a dark hair push through the crowds to her.

"Yes?" He asked.

It was Loki. Thor smiled widely as his brother looked up at him and the other Asgardians when Max pointed at them.

"Oh," He said. He was wearing a loose dark green t-shirt and jeans with converse. His hair was about the same length as it had been last time they saw him but it wasn't pushed back as immaculately so strands occasionally fell in front of his eyes, making him run his hands through his hair to shove them back.

"Oh Loki!" Frigga couldn't restrain herself as she threw her arms around Loki's neck, burying her face in his shoulder.

"Mother," Loki sighed, hugging her tightly and turning his face into her golden hair, which she had left flowing over her shoulders.

"I miss you so much," Her voice was muffled as she spoke into his shoulder.

"I miss you too," Loki admitted, closing his eyes.

"I'll… leave you guys alone," Max awkwardly excused herself and disappeared into the crowd.

"Why- why are you all on Earth?" He still had his accent but the way he worded things was slightly different. Less proper and he stood differently when Frigga had finally detangled herself from him, less like a Prince should, more relaxed.

Odin went over why they were there and Loki nodded along, not interrupting once, while Thor watched Loki. He seemed… happier. He had a certain relaxed air to him that he'd never had back in Asgard since they were children. Thor liked seeing him like this, more content.

"So will you come back to Asgard? I am willing to lift your banishment," Odin offered.

Loki seemed to think it through for a moment before answering.

"No," He shrugged and stole a cup from the hands of a guy who was passing them.

"Hey!" The guy scowled at him, to which Loki just smiled and took a drink from it.

The man tried to fight the smile from forming on his face but gave up after a moment, shaking his head and ruffling Loki's hair before slinging an arm around his shoulders. Loki brushed his hair back again and took another drink.

"Hey, you guys look weird, why's your hair so long?" The guy commented. He had dark hair which was long enough to be messy but not cover his ears and light brown eyes. He was wearing a loose black t-shirt with a skull and the word 'Misfits' on it and black jeans with the same shoes as Loki. He had sleeve tattoos up his arms and a scorpion one on his neck. There was a ring pieced through the right of his lip and on the side of his right nostril too.

Before Fandral could get defensive Loki introduced everyone. The guy's name was Frankie. Thor tried to ignore the twinge of jealousy he felt when Loki leant into Frankie's touch, leaning against the human's chest. Max had reappeared and was stood next to Thor.

"You like him," She stated.

Everyone else was watching Loki and Frankie argue about something so no one paid attention to them.

"Of course. He is my brother," He announced.

"From what I've heard he technically isn't,"

"He is adopted, yes, but I still love him,"

Max smiled slyly, "I can tell," She winked at his confusion before she shouted. "I have an idea!"

Frankie and Loki stopped and looked at her as well as the Asgardians.

"Never Have I Ever!"

Loki hung his head and groaned. "I don't like that game, it always turns awkward,"

Frankie laughed, "Only because you've done some crazy-ass shit, dude,"

Loki mumbled something about 'different realm' and 'acceptable there' but didn't argue further.

"You guys can play too," Max said, turning to the Asgardians.

"How do you play?" Hogun asked.

"Well, you get shots of vodka and someone says 'Never Have I Ever' then says something they've never done and everyone who has done it takes a shot. For example, if someone says 'never have I ever had sex' everyone who's ever had sex takes a shot,"

"Oh, that sounds fun," Fandral smiled.

Loki rolled his eyes but shrugged, smirking, when Max turned to him.

She dragged them all over to a table where she laid out eleven shot glasses, filled them all with vodka and handed them out.

"I'll start," She smiled. "Never have I ever… stolen a car,"

Loki, Thor and Sif all exchanged a look and drank. So did Frankie then she refilled their glasses.

"Frankie, you next,"

Frankie looked at the ceiling for a second, thinking, before he said, "Never have I ever wore a cape," and smirked at Loki, who sighed and drank. Thor, Odin, Frigga, Sif and the Warriors Three also drank. And Max.

Everyone stared at her. "What? I went through a Harry Potter phase, I wanted to go to Hogwarts," She shrugged.

"Loki, your turn," Max pointed out, filling everyone's glasses again.

"Um, never have I ever… ran naked down a street," He smirked at Max and Frankie who both glared at him and drank. And Thor.

"You ran through a street naked?" Loki asked Thor.

"It was while you were grounded for using your magic to turn Father's crown into a snake, Sif dared me to," He explain. Loki grinned at the memory of Odin screaming at him in anger when they were sixteen and he was particularly bored.

"Frigga, your turn," Max smiled at the Queen who was stood beside Loki as if if she was too far away from him he'd disappear again.

"Oh, um, can I skip my turn?"

"Nope, everyone has to play," Loki smiled.

"Um… Never have I ever… taken part in a battle,"

Thor, Loki, Odin, Sif and the Warriors Three all took a drink.

"Thor!" Max shouted while doing the refills.

"Never have I ever… slept with a man," Thor wasn't sure why he said that but as soon as he did he looked round the circle to see who had empty glasses before Max could refill them. Frigga, Sif, Max, Frankie. And Loki. Thor stared at him in shock and Loki looked up and caught his gaze. Loki smirked and looked down at his glass when Max accidentally spilt a bit of Vodka on his hand. He shrugged and laughed at her apology before lifting his hand to lick off the liquid.

Thor's mouth fell open and had suddenly gone very dry. Frankie whispered something to Loki and Loki laughed before putting his index finger in his mouth and sucking lightly, hollowing out his cheeks. Thor's breath caught and he had to swallow several times to dampen his throat again. He coughed lightly and turned his attention to something else. Anything else. He noticed Max looking between him and Loki and beaming at him. He looked confused but before he could ask anything the girl turned her attention back to the group.

"Truth or Dare!" She shouted throwing her hands up. "Everybody but Frank out!" She shouted to the crowd of people they'd all forgotten were there and they all filed out grumbling. They muttered 'goodbye's to Loki on the way out and gave Thor and the others odd looks because of their hair and Mjolnir but no one commented on it. When everyone but them, Loki, Frankie and Max were gone, the girl grabbed Thor's arm and dragged him behind her as the others followed to the center of the living room, grabbing an empty beer bottle on her way.

She told everyone to sit in a circle – Loki and Frankie mumbling about how they were too old to play this sort of crap as they sat next to each other – and she explained the rules to the guests.

Thor sat on Loki's other side, then Frigga, Odin, Sif, Hogun, Volstagg, and finally Fandral next to Max who was on Frankie's other side.

When they all understood Max spun the bottle first. It landed on Frigga. Loki leant back on his hands. Thor noticed Frankie's eyes trail down Loki's body and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Truth or Dare, Frigga,"

"Uhm, truth please," She smiled.

"Okay… is it true… You always thought of Loki as much your son as you thought Thor?" Max asked.

"Yes, completely," Frigga smiled at Loki, who smiled back before turning his attention to a fray in the carpet. He leant back on his elbows and his t-shirt rode up slightly, showing a strip of smooth, pale skin. Thor's throat went dry again and he couldn't look away.

"Okay, now you spin it," Max's voice broke through his thoughts. She handed everyone a beer too.

Frigga reached forward and span the bottle how Max had taught her. It landed on Frankie.

"Dare please, Queen," Frankie smiled smugly.

"Ooh watch out, we've got a badass over here!" Max explained, smirking. Frankie stuck his tongue out at her before motioning for Frigga to continue.

"Um…" She stuttered, not sure what to dare him to do.

Loki crawled across Thor and placed his knee in between Thor's crossed legs so he could whisper in Frigga's ear. Thor gasped and bit his lip at the friction so close to his groin and hoped Loki didn't notice.

He didn't appear to as he moved back to his place next to Thor, a sly smirk on his lips.

Gods, I've missed that smirk. Thor thought to himself. He couldn't stop staring at Loki's lips now. What is wrong with me? He thought. I just miss him, that's all. He nodded and turned back to Frigga.

"I dare you to run outside shirtless while singing We Are The Champions?" She looked at Loki for confirmation while Max spat her beer out laughing. Loki nodded, grinning fully. Frankie sighed and stood up, taking off his shirt. He had tattoos all over his chest, the bottom of his stomach under his belly button and around the small of his back and up his spine. There were also a few scattered around the back of his shoulder blades. He ran outside and they could hear him singing from in the living room. Loki and Max dissolved into a fit of laughter, leaning over the gap Frankie had left to clutch onto each other's shoulders. The others laughed too, except Thor. He was staring at Loki. Max collapsed backwards and pulled Loki to the ground with her, his shirt fell up even more, revealing his belly button. Thor, despite what people think, has a good imagination. He saw how Loki's hips narrowed slightly and could picture what he'd look like without the jeans and t-shirt. He could imagine him laid underneath him, his hair splayed out around his head in a dark mess on the pillow. He could imagine him biting his lip and screwing his beautiful eyes closed and-

"Thor," Frigga nudged him.

"Um, yes Mother?" He asked, clearing his throat when his voice came out scratchy.

"Are you okay? You zoned out for a moment,"

"I am fine, I was just thinking,"

Frigga nodded and smiled. Loki and Max had stopped laughing and were taking deep breaths as Frankie sat back down between them, leaving his shirt off. Thor saw Loki looking at Frankie's chest and felt another jolt of jealousy. Frankie span the bottle and it landed on Max.

"Truth or Dare Maxie," He smiled.

"Truth,"

"Pussy. Is it true you've had sex with a girl?"

"Yes, yes it is," Max announced smiling. She span the bottle and it landed on Loki.

"Ah shit," He muttered.

"Loki, truth or dare?"

"Tru-" He started but Frankie glared at him. "Fine, dare,"

"I dare you to… make out with Frankie," She grinned.

Thor held his breath and Loki shrugged, turning round to face Frankie, who beamed and turned to him. Frankie cupped Loki's face and Loki put his hand on Frankie's waist. The human pulled Loki's head to him and forced their lips together. Loki returned the kiss just as intensely. Max shouted 'tongue too' at them and Loki rolled his eyes not breaking the kiss before closing them again and opening his mouth. Frankie opening his too and moaned when his tongue plunged into Loki's mouth. He ran his hand down Loki's side and round to the small of his back. Loki was kneeling so he could get a better angle. Thor glared at his hand from where he was sat behind Loki. He had to resist the urge to pull his brother away from the Midgardian so he clenched his fists again instead. He didn't want to watch them making out so he stared at Frankie's hand as if he could will it off the Trickster's back. Instead, it dropped lowed and cupped Loki's ass. Loki groaned and leant closer to Frankie. Thor bit his lip hard enough to draw blood in order to suppress his own moan.

Thankfully, Odin broke the moment, clearing his throat loudly. Loki pulled away from Frankie, a blush creeping into his pale cheeks.

"My apologies," He muttered and Frankie sniggered, slinging his arm around Loki's shoulders and dragging him into him. Loki span the bottle and it landed on Thor.

"Thor, truth or dare?" He asked.

He saw Loki looking at him so he said, "Dare,"

"I dare you to spar with Loki!" Frankie exclaimed straight away. Loki clasped his hands over his face and sighed.

"Alright," Thor stood and moved to a moderately clear area. Him and Loki used to spar a lot when they were in Asgard together. Loki sighed and pushed himself up using Frankie's shoulder, squeezing harder than necessary, making his friend yelp slightly and rub it when Loki let go. Loki walked over to stand opposite Thor.

"Please don't kill me, I haven't had much practice lately… well, not with a worthy opponent," Loki smirked again when Frankie exclaimed 'Hey!'

Thor frowned at the thought of Loki sparring with Frankie. More jealousy.

They crouched slightly and held their arms out slightly to the side, fingers spread.

"Go!" Max shouted and Thor threw himself at Loki, who quickly jumped to the side and successfully dodged the attack as he pushed Thor's back, sending him stumbling further forwards and away from him. Thro turned back to face him and Loki smiled. Thor went to attack him again but skidded to a stop just in front of him. Loki didn't see this coming so he jumped to the side again and Thor could grab his arm, he pulled him towards him. Loki was caught off guard so he staggered forward but tried to twist out of Thor's way and Thor dropped his arm and he fell face down on the floor. He turned so he was on his back and Thor dropped on top of him so he was straddling his waist to pin him down. Loki went to push his chest to get him off him but Thor held his wrists down above his head. Loki squirmed under him and Thor's eyes widened when Loki's knee brushed his crotch. Then he realized he was hard.

Oops he though. Loki felt it too because he stared up at Thor, his emerald eyes not blinking. Thor cleared his throat and jumped off him, muttering a quick 'excuse me' before fleeing the room. He hurriedly went out to the garden and leant against the brick wall of the house.

He sighed and looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and jeans. His boner had gone down a lot but he was still semi-hard. As he was contemplating what to do about it he heard the door to the house open and close then the soft sound of footsteps, a lot quieter than they should be. Loki. He'd always been quiet and light on his feet.

"Thor?" He asked hesitantly.

"Did the others notice anything?" Thor asked, eyes trained on the concrete of the floor.

"No,"

Thor nodded, slightly relieved, "What are you doing out here?" He looked up at Loki, who was stood about three feet away, closer than Thor had thought.

He held up a small cardboard box and shook it lightly.

"What is that?" He asked curiously taking a step forward.

"Oh, sorry I forgot you haven't been here as long as me. They're called cigarettes," He opened a lid on top and showed Thor the inside. There were lots of round sticks about the length of a finger. Loki pulled one out and showed it to Thor. It was mostly white except for a centimeter at one end, which was a light brown with white flecks and one end had dark brown things crammed in it while the other had white foamy stuff. Loki took it back and put the end with the foam thing between his lips and got out a small metal thing and flicked a lid on it revealing a little raised bit with a small wheel next to it. Loki span the wheel with his thumb and a small flame emitted from the tip of the raised area. He held the flame to the other end of the stick and inhaled. He flicked the metal thing shut and slipped it into his pocket. Thor stared at him, trying to figure out what was happening as he took the stick – cigarette he remembered Loki saying – out of his mouth and held it between his index and middle finger and blew out a cloud of light gray smoke. Thor breathed it in by accident and coughed.

"Oh, sorry," Loki apologized, switching which hand he held the cigarette so the smoke coming off the end didn't go near Thor.

Thor nodded in thanks and turned his attention off the stick to Loki.

"Has that… why did you get an erection?" Loki asked.

"Because… I've… had feelings for you for a while and you're very attractive and you were squirming and… well, yeah," He finished awkwardly staring at the floor to avoid Loki's intense stare. He was watching Loki's shoes and he saw the stick fall and Loki step on it to put the end out. He glanced up as Loki stepped closer.

They were less than a foot apart now. Thor couldn't look away so he stood frozen, staring at him. Loki flicked his tongue out to lick his lips and Thor's eyes drifted to stare at his lips.

Thor gathered up all the confidence he had and stepped forward, closing the gap between him and Loki, pressing his lips to Loki's. Loki froze for a second and dropped the cardboard box of cigarettes. Thor's hands came up to cup the sides of Loki's face. The latter's eyes eventually fluttered shut and he melted into Thor's grip, placing his hands on Thor's chest.

They lips moved against each other for a minute before Thor's tongue flicked out to lick at Loki's bottom lip. Loki groaned and opened his mouth. The older of the two pulled him closer so their bodies were flush against each other as he slipped his tongue in. Loki tasted like smoke for a second but that eventually went away and he tasted like something so uniquely Loki that Thor felt like he could get high from that taste alone. He grabbed Loki's biceps and pulled him round so he could push his back against the wall and pin his hands above his head. They broke the kiss for a second so they could catch their breath. It was cold so they could see their breath mingling together.

"I… Stop," Loki protested, pushing Thor off him and running inside without another glance at his brother. Thor stared after him then sighed, resting his head against the cool wall where Loki had been pressed against seconds before.

"Gods," He muttered, thinking about all the ways he'd messed up what him and Loki had.

All the stress and burden that had been placed upon him over the past year since Loki's banishment started crashing down on him and the thought of Loki never wanting to be near him again and loosing him, again, made it even more painful. He turned so his back was against the wall and pressed into it, sliding down slightly so his legs were kicked out in front of him a little. Thor ran a hand through his blond hair and gripped painfully at the roots, tears forming in his eyes as he let all the frustration he'd pushed down lately rise to the surface.

Clenching his blue eyes shut, he tried not to cry but couldn't help it. Tears streaked silently down his cheeks but he didn't bother to wipe them away, it was dark and there was no one around to see them. He heard Volstagg's loud cry of enthusiasm and guessed they were playing a different game as it was followed by Max's loud giggles.

He blocked out the sounds, not wanting to hear how happy they were while he was stood in the cold miserable so he didn't hear the sound of the door open again but he did hear quiet but quick footsteps walk out. He looked up and saw Loki.

"I forgot my…" He started, crouching down to pick up the discarded cigarette packet. He trailed off when he saw the tear tracks down Thor's face and rose slowly, not taking his eyes off him.

"Thor…" He breathed, sympathy and regret obvious in his eyes, and the blond raised his hand to wipe away the tears but suddenly Loki was in front of him and caught his wrist. He reached up with his other hand, a lot more slender than Thor's, and wiped them away with his thumb. Loki looked at the contrast between the paleness of his own hand in comparison to the tanned skin of Thor's cheek and chuckled slightly at how well the colours went together, despite how different. The Liesmith bit his lip and leant forward, standing on his toes so he could place a soft chaste kiss to Thor's mouth. It was light, barely a brush of lips but it took Thor's breath away. Loki lingered there for a second before pulling away reluctantly, eyes locked onto Thor's.

"Thor?"

"Yes, Loki?"

"I have a bed upstairs,"

Thor smirked and grabbed Loki's hand, leading him back into the house and past the others, who didn't notice them, before pushing Loki in front of him when they got to the stairs so he could lead the way to his room.

A/N: Okay so that's the first chapter, let me know what you think.
